A carnival and other entertain
ment features were provided by
the Jaycees.
Moore County landowners hav
ing insect infestations in timber
damaged by the “Big Fire” which
swept over hundreds of acres in
the county in April received ad
vice this week in a letter sent out
by Bennie R. Fulcher, assistant
agricultural extension agent spe
cializing in forestry matters.
The letter said:
“Recently a number of ques
tions have been asked about the
control of insect in the fire dam
aged area in the lower end of
Moore County. Following are
comments concerning these in
sects and their control.
<rhe pres-ence of bark bee
tles in our pines can usually be
noted by the numerous white to
red-brown rosin pitch tubes, rang
ing in size from less than one-half
inch in diameter to about 1-
inches in diameter, on the bark
of the branches or trunk. In trees
of low vigor, such as many of
these which were weakened by
the fire, pitch tubes may be lack
ing, and the earliest signs of at
tack will be the reddish boring
dust in bark crevices and in
spider webs at the base of the
tree. Since these pitch tubes may
not be present, it will be neces
sary to make a close examination
to determine if beetles are pres
ent. Landowners who cannot
make this determination should
seek professional advice from the
county agents office or from, pro
fessional foresters.”
As to what can be done, the
letter quoted Fred Whitfield, for
est management extension spe-
Icialist, from State College, as
follows;
“These steps should be taken
by landowners who have an in

“If landowners follow this pro
cedure, the infestation is likely
to remain at a low level. If they
take no action, there is a possi-
bilitay of two gene rations before

“I will be glad to assist land-
owners with inspections of trees
to see if you have insect damage,”
Mr. Fulcher said.

dents for each of the three school
boards are, respectively; county—
Jere McKeithsn of Aberdeen and
R. E. Lee, Carthage; Southern
Pines—N. L. Hodgkins and James
W. Jenkins; Pinehurst—^L. B.
Creath and Lewis Cannon.
The committee is discussing
long-range needs of the three
school systems and what will be
required to meet those needs.
Mr. Taylor, meeting with other
members of the board of county
commissioners and members of
the county board of education in
Carthage Monday, said that the
committee has been thinking in
terms of up to $3 million in bonds
for the schools, in addition to a
proposed $1 million to build the
community college that has now
been authoriz.ed for this county.
He said the committee had
reached no agreement yet on di
vision of the proposed funds.
Th.3 committee is purely advis
ory. Its findings will be submit
ted to the board Of county com
missioners who will determine
the amount of any proposed bond
issue.
Commissioners and board of ed
ucation agreed Monday that the
required election on both the
school and college bonds should
be held this fall. Some date in
October was suggested as a good
time for the election.
Voting on the college and school
bonds would be separate, al
though the two proposals could
appear on the same ballot.

the end of the 1963-64 fiscal year.
Such a surplus is confidently ex
pected. If the county gets $500,000
from the state next year, the
bonds sold could be reduced by
that much.
—Not directly applicable to t’ne
college projSect, but of significance
in the picture of Moore County’s
total bond issue proposals (bonds
up to $3 million for school cons
truction are planned for a vote
at the same election) is the fact
that approval of a State school
bond issue could provide as much
as $700,000 for Moore County,
thereby greatly easing the total
burden of the county.

Also surviving are nine grand
children; five sisters, Mrs. John
Thornburg of Orange Park, Fla.,

A 100-acre site for the college
has already been given by Mrs.
C. Louis Meyer of Pinehurst and
Lake Forest, Ill., between Pine
hurst and the Southern Pines-
Pinehurst Airport. The site has
also been proposed as location of
a consolidated Aberdeen-West
End High School.
The proposed college would be
a two-year institution offering
academic (“college parallel”),
technical, vocational, general

G. M. CAMERON
(Continued from Page 1)
which he was an elder and char
ter member. Officiating was the
pastor, the Rev. R. L. Prince.
Burial was in Mt. Hope Cemetery
here.
He was born at Manly, the son
of D. D. Fairley Cameron and Ef-
fie McGregor Cameron, memoers
of pioneer Scottish families of the
county. He entered World War I
as a private with the first Moore
County contingent in 1917, served
overseas with the Army’s Field
Artillery and ended his service
as a first lieutenant.
Soon after his return, he be
came associated with Pinehurst,
Inc., and continued this associa
tion for 45 years until his death,
as the official in charge of civic
and community affairs. He had
been in poor health, with failing
eyesight, during the past year
and had been seriously ill last
winter.
As county commissioner and
chairman and in other phases of
his life he was known for his in
tegrity, diplomacy, courtesy,
kindness, practical good sense
and thrift. His gracious ways and
gentle humor, with sound com
mon sense, made him ideally suit
ed as “liaison” between native
residents and seasonal visitors,
and in government he maintained
due regard for both.
He was a member of the Pine
hurst Lions Club and Pinehurst
American Legion post, and served
in former years as a director of
Moore Memorial hospital and as
a member of the Pinehurst vol
unteer fire department.
Surviving are his wife, the for
mer Evelyn Sloan of Mt. Ulla;
one daughter, Mrs. Paul Mona
han of Durham, and one son, G.
Bevins Cameron, of Pinehurst;
seven grandchildren, and two
brothers, Herbert N. Cameron
and D. D. Shields Cameron, both
of Southern Pines.
formally accepted by the Moore
County board of education fol
lowing a final inspection tour
Monday afternoon.
Keys to the handsome modern
structure of steel, glass and con
crete on the Union Church Road
were turned over to the board by
the contractor, L. P. Cox cf San
ford. It comprises the main por
tion of the building, including
classrooms, offices and laborator
ies.
Architects Thomas T. Hayes
and W. Calvin Howell of the
Hayes-Howell & Associates firm
of Southern Pines accompanied
the board on its tour and then
met with them to start on the
next big step—Aconstruction of
the second phase, with hopes of
getting it completed by Septem
ber, 1964.
Studying bids opened July 23,
they determined on $284,000
worth for letting. While it will
take nearly $460,000 to do a com
plete job, that much money is
not now available. With 19 bids
on hand in seven different cate
gories, their problem was to get
the most school they could, mak
ing an adequate program possible
in 1964, with the least expendi
ture of funds. According to the
architects, the bids were very
reasonable, lower than had been
expected in some instances.
Bids selected were turned over
to the .architects, who were to
draw up the contracts and notify
the successful contractors immed
iately so the work could get
started at once.
Postponed until more money is
available, either through a bond
issue or through appropriation
made in the 1964-65 budget
(which could throw the opening
of Union Pines a year behind) is
the addition of the shop, music
room and dressing rooms, gym
nasium and auditorium.
Union Pines, when completed,
at an estimated cost of $1,215,000,
will serve the high school stu
dents of the Carthage, Farm Life,
Vass-Lakeview and Cameron dis
tricts and serve as headquarters
for Area 1, comprising all these
districts. It will contain offices
for the guidance director, super
visors, librarian and others serv
ing this district, one of three into
which the county system has
boen divided.
Area 2 comprises Robbins,
Highfalls and Westmoore, Area
3 Aberdeen-Pinebluff and West
End.
health careers needing to be fill
ed in the State, a program of
“motivation” was outlined last
week by Miss LoRayne Dinguess,
newly appointed coordinator for
District 3, to Moore County
school and hospital representa
tives.
Stating that it would be her
job over the next three years to
stimulate an interest in nursing
and health careers, she will be
working in a 13 county area,
which includes Moore County,
primarily with the schools, but
with other community and civic
organizations as well. While nurs
ing is considered the primary tar
get, there are many other jobs to
be filled by licensed practical
nurses, orderlies, lab technicians,
x-ray technicians and others.
While these career openings
now exist, “we are not even fill
ing the schools we have avail
able,” she said.
From her headquarters in
Charlotte, where she has offices
with the Duke Endowment Fund,
mation on opportunities for train
ing and employment in 200 medi
cal and hospital careers. Her ter
ritory includes Cleveland, Gaston,
Lincoln, Iredell, Mecklenburg,
Rowan, Cabarrus, Union, Stanly,
Anson, Montgomery, Richmond
and Moore Counties. Included in
her “tools” will be brochures, and
a new film which will be out this
fall, as well as other films. She
will also attempt to collect and
publish all available data on
scholarships available for the
whole area.
Meeting with her were Dr.
Charles A. Phillips, a member of
the District 3 committee repre
senting the medical profession,
Duncan McGoogan, administra
tor; Mrs. Betty McLeod, director
of nursing; and Mrs. Harris Blake,
